Its always nice to be in Saigon, great street food aside wi-fi places are so easy to find. Almost every budget and mid-range accommodation offers free wi-fi.

Ice Coffee and Wi-Fi
Vietnamese Ice Coffee and free wi-fi, another cafe near the Ben Thanh Market.

The nice thing about Vietnamese cafe is that they don’t mind if you use the power to charge your computer.

Dokdo-Takeshima dispute in Second Life

Liancourt Rocks known as Dokdo in Korea and Takeshima in Japan are a group of disuted islents in the Sea of Japan. I have fun teasing my Korean friends saying I want to visit Takeshima (they will reply in anger “It is Dokdo not Takeshima ##&**) and if I say to Japanese friends that I am going to Dokdo, they will say ( Chigau…Takeshima des ##&**).

Seems some Korean young people are taking the dispute to Second Life. I found this place called Dokdo Skylounge on SL. One can dance here and earn some Linden dollars.
